A Stitch Above
Celebrating excellence in needlework
Looking ahead to 2027, we will celebrate the stitching journeys of four talented individuals: an experienced couple whose years of dedication reflect the enduring beauty of needle art, and two younger stitchers who bring their own creativity, enthusiasm, and fresh perspectives to the craft.
Together, their stories will showcase the rich diversity of needle art across generations, celebrating both the time-honored techniques that preserve our traditions and the innovative spirit that keeps our stitching community vibrant and growing.
